The most important tip I will ever give you..... Shocked

Never open the door when they are making a noise!

they're canny buggers Wards, and they repeat behaviours that work. If hootin an hollerin gets them out quicker by midsummer they'll be squawking at 5am Shocked

I leave the eglu door open at night so they can wander into their run when they like. Foxes can't get into the run, but if your push their heads up against the bars there could be a risk. Mine don't Wink
